Lavender & Vanilla

I'm admittedly a major lavender snob. I really like my lavender true-to-form, or slathered in vanilla as a supporting note where the gourmond elements can smooth out the tone. I love honey, so in theory I should love this...but something about the lavender combined with it makes me queasy. This smells somehow both sharp and goopy simultaneously. I didn't know this contained honey as an alleged note until I checked on here, but it makes so much sense! When I tested it, it felt...thick and sticky in an unsavory manner. I simply thought the vanilla smelled *off*. Aéropostale always had a casual, clean and bright atmosphere, and the store smelled like it. I've enjoyed most of their fragrances well enough, so for something to smell off-putting to me from the brand is both surprising, and (in my opinion) out of character. This strikes me as a bizarre fluke, and a scrubber. A shame, the bottle is SO cool.
